History

The town was founded in 1912. It was created by the initiative of the Canadian Northern Railway. Its plan was to build a new town (or "model city" as it was called) at the foot of the mountain. The company bought 4,800 acres (19 km²) of farmland, and then built a rail tunnel under Mount Royal connecting their land to downtown Montreal. The profits from the venture helped finance the development of Canadian Northern's transcontinental railroad, which eventually became a significant constituent of the Canadian National Railway system. The town was designed by Canadian Northern's chief engineer, Henry Wicksteed, based loosely on Washington, DC. 1912 was a leap year starting on Monday. ...

Mount Royal is surrounded on three sides by a highway, a rail line and a fence.

The highway is Metropolitan Boulevard, a major constituent of Autoroute 40.

The fence is erected on the eastern border with Park Extension along l'Acadie Boulevard. The stated purpose of the fence is to prevent children and house pets from running into the busy thoroughfare, but many contend that it was built to keep residents of the working-class Park Extension neighbourhood out of the town. This fence originally had several gates built into it, which the became a subject of controversy when they were locked one year at Halloween, preventing children from Park Extension from trick-or-treating in the town. The town council responded by removing the gates so that the fence could be crossed at any time at any of the six crosswalks along the 1.2 km boulevard.
